    https://theodora.com/wfb1989/jersey/jersey_economy.html
    SOURCE: 1989 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK

      Overview: The economy is based largely on agriculture and tourism. There are few other natural resources. Potatoes, cauliflower, tomatoes, and especially flowers are important export crops, shipped mostly to the UK. The Jersey breed of dairy cattle is known worldwide and represents an important export earner. Milk products go to the UK and other EC countries. In recent years the government has encouraged light industry to locate in Jersey, with the result that an electronics industry has developed alongside the traditional manufacturing of knitwear. All raw material and energy requirements are imported, as well as a large share of Jersey's food needs.
